Hole in one!
Ever wonder how Swiss cheese is made? As the cheese ferments, a bacterial action generates gas. As the gas is liberated, it bubbles through the cheese, leaving all those holes.
Gee. And we thought the mice just nibbled on it.
Wake up, America!
Americans drink over a billion pounds of coffee every year and around five million bottles of soda. Talk about a nation on a sugar high.
The poisonous nut
The cashew nut in its natural state contains a poisonous oil. Roasting removes the oil and makes the nuts safe to eat.
How many nut lovers lost their lives before they figured that out?
Ye old recipe book
The first cookbook published in the United States was Compleat Housewife, or Accomplished Gentlewoman’s Companion, printed in Williamsburg, VA in 1742.
New world, new cuisine
Before Columbus, Europe had never tasted cord, potatoes, tomatoes, red peppers, sweet potatoes, tapioca, chocolate, pumpkins, squash, coconuts, pineapples, strawberries, and much more. Why? All these food items are native to America
Who invented ice cream?
Dolley Madison is credited with inventing ice cream. Nancy Johnson, the wife of a naval officer, is credited for inventing the ice cream freezer.
All this fuss over a fork
The table fork was introduced into England in 1601. Until then people would eat with their knives, spoons or fingers. When Queen Elizabeth first used a fork, the clergy went ballistic. They felt it was an insult to God not to touch meat with one’s fingers.

The last meal
Cheese closes the stomach and should always be served at the end of a meal.
